To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that l, llenar S'rnono, a citi-' Zen oic the'l'lnitod States, residing at Millinocket, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful. improvements in Turbine- Pumps; and l do hereby declare the fol lowing to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionot the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine, reference be.- ing had to the' accompanying' drawings, and to the letters and figures ot reference marked thereon, which forni a part ol' this speciiication.

r.lhe object'of this invention is to provide a novel construction of turbine pump, which is simple of construction and thoroughly efficient in use.

1n the drawings:

Figure 1 isa view in top plan of the turbine pump of invention.;

Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation thereof;

Fig. 3 is a view in. longitudinal section on the line of Fig. Land Fig. l is a View alongn the line il-el of Fig. 3 lookinga in the direction of the arrows.

In detail:

1 designates a base, of any suitable construction, for supportingl the operative parts of the pump.. Eising 'from the base are standards 2, 2, in which the rotatable pump body is journaled.

The puinpbody comprises an open-ended cylindrical member 3 having lateral circumferential 'flanges e, 4- and end caps and 6, likewise having lateral flanges 7 through which, and through the flanges Ll, securing means, such as bolts 8, may pass for hol ding the cylindrical body 3 and said end caps 5 and 6 in assembled relation..

The cap 5 is providcdwth an axial hol` low hub 9 having a reduced portion 10 journaled in the frame 2.

A pipe coupling 11 is disposed against the end of the hub l() and a suitable Ypacking 12 is interposed between said pipe coupling; and the adjacent end oi't the hub and the standard 2, so as to make a water tight joint at this point. The coupling 11 is provided with a circumferential lateral flange 13 suit- Speccation of Letters Patent.

ably secured to the standard 2, as by means of bolts 14. The couplingl is also exteriorly screw-threaded, as shown at 15, for engagement with a pipe leadingfrom a source of 'water supply.

The coupling' 6 is likewise provided with an axial hub 16 suitably journaled in the adjacent standard 2, and carries a gear 17, meshing /with a second gear 18 on a shaft 19 rotatably supported in the standard 2, and in a standard 20 risingfrom the base 1. 0n the end of the sha-lt 19 is a wheel 21, which may be rotated by means of a crank handle 22, whereby the turbine pump body 3 may be manually rotated. It will be understood, however, that the gearing Wheel 21 and crank 22 are merely exemplary of one form of means for rotating the pump body, since other means may be used, and, as a matter ol"- fact, the pump body may be actuated by power means.

The hub 16 has a reduced portion 23 journaled in the standard 2. I

A pipe coupling 24 is adapted to be disposed ag'ainst the end of the hubportion'28,

and a suitable packing 25 is interposed be! tween said coupling and the adjacent end of the hub and the standard 2. Bolts 26, passingr through a circumferential lateral flange 27 on the coupling 24, secure the latter to the standard 2.

Disposed interiorly and concentrically of the cylindrical body 3 is a solid core 28,

preferably cylindrical, and carrying laterally a disk 29 of larger diameter than said core. Preferably, the disk 29 is secured to the core by means of screws 30. The disk 29 1s el? somewhat less diameter than the cylinder 3, so that a passageway is formed between the perimeter of the disk and the inner circumferential surface ofthe cylinder 3, as shown in Fig. 5l.

Between the cylinder 3 and the core 28 are Jcarabine or screw blades 32 suitably secured to said cylinder and core.

A flexible hose may be attached to the coupling 24. y

ln operation, the wheel 21 is turned by the crank 27, thus rotating the shaft 19 and the 18 and l?, thereby revolving the pump body 3 and the turbine blades 32, the water consequently being drawn and forced through said turbine body 3 and through the hub 1G :md the c-,wupliug 24.

`Wbnt I claim to be new is:

1. A turbine pump comprising :1, cyljndrical operbeldedl body, end caps secured te said body and each having a hub, Supporting means Within which said hubs um r0- tdtublyv jourlmled, e solid core disposed 10 axially within Seid. cylindrical membery and carrying' a disk of lesser 'diameter than Said cylmdz'lcal member7 and tfurbme blades between eind eyhndrlcel member amil .field 2. The turbine pump LS Specified in claim l5 l, and means geared to one ef seid hubs fox' rotating said cylindrical body.
